72 SB Rear Engine Hoist Bracket

[John H.]

I just returned from Waco Reginal, excellent show. I need to know the correct
configuration of the REAR bracket for engine removal for a SB base 350 4speed. Bracket is different for a BB, and a automatic, and a highpo.
I am not sure what it looks like. Help, Also what is it's angle as far as
being flat versus bottom or top portion having any 90 degree bends.
I did find 350LT 1'S with a rounded top portion and a small 90 degree bent tab.
Some BB'S didn't even have a rear bracket on them, even star cars, if I'm
not mistaking. Cars with automatic's appear to have a different bracket.
I need 72 sb 4sp bracket configuration... Thanks

The rear lift bracket is the "flat" one with 1 large hole, 1 small hole (for the bolt), and a 90 degree tab.

Automatics did not use a rear bracket, Small block rear brackets were round on the top with a tab that was bent 90 deg. to the bracket

John,
There's a good photo of the rear lifting bracket in the Paragon Catalogue on page 13. It's part of kit number 2208K. Looks just like it has been described above.
